UHSAA - Please Reconsider - Delay is ok, but let them all play!

We can't live life on fear. Time to get back to what's important. Please make this possible.

Please let these kids play and have a graduation!!! Being outdoors is safe and just what they need. DO THE RIGHT THING!!!

Let them play now

These kids need to play!!

Decision to cancel spring sports was made way to early.

Makes sense to keep options open.

I understand the situation we are in but I do mean this when I say that I have waited my entire life for my senior baseball season and it means more to me than you could imagine! please reconsider!

I know these are hard times. It breaks my heart to consider the many kids who have worked so hard and so long competing and working at their individual sports to have their dreams so entirely disrupted. The outbreak has been devastating, however it will come to an end and we all need something to look forward to. Why can’t we play a delayed season and a state tournament in due time? I would like to see the UHSAA take the lead to help normalize life when the danger is past and give these kids, their parents and their schools something to look forward to. If things are not normalized be June, then reasses the situation, but I feel like we realistically have until school starts to play sports on a delayed schedule, if the safety conditions are met

Let them play!!!

Delay is okay — But Don’t throw the whole Spring Sport Season Away... These kids have already lost enough!!! Please Reconsider

Let us play!

I understand where all of this is coming from. But as a student athlete who has played two sports at the high school and college level, it’s not fair to take these athletes choices away. They ALL deserve a voice in their high school experience. If people are scared of getting sick, stay home. There are others who are smart and take the precautions needed to stay safe. High school sports teams are with the SAME people and families for practices, games, and any other get togethers. It’s not fair to take away a season for the seniors who have looked forward to this year for SO LONG. Don’t take it away from them. Give them a choice, give them a say, give them a chance to finish what they have started. As a student athlete myself, I ache for these players who have worked so hard and so long for this, who have got up early and stayed late to work at their craft, who have studied and gotten extra help in the classroom to keep their grades up in order to play a game they LOVE. DONT TAKE AWAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT. It’s not your choice, it’s theirs. I hope that this petition can show everyone that it’s so much more than a game to these players, coaches, parents, and fans. LET THEM PLAY.

As a former player and a coach my heartbreaks for the student athletes that essentially lose a year of a short career. The lessons learned in sports are used through out life. Taking those opportunities for these students to learn life lessons is doing them a disservice.

Let the kids play. This overreach of our liberties is ridiculous. If folks are nervous they can stay home and isolate themselves.

Let the kids play.

Let them play! Especially for the seniors, this could be their last time competing!

Let the kids play!

Let our seniors have their last high school softball season

I hope you consider letting them play. Think of not just the younger players but the seniors that are going to miss having a graduation but also their last season of high school ball.

Let them play!!
